Dear SIL,

I'm sorry to say it wasn't your "prayers" that brought the situation to where it is, it was hard work and diligence on my part. I am the one who made it happen for your son, after many, many phone calls. It would be nice if you could acknowledge that him living with us has been good for him (and definitely good for you as you go gallivanting across the country) instead of spewing your vitriol and hate our way. And so, as per your wishes, you remain dead to us.

And your brother. Divorcing the only SIL I have left. CANNOT believe he is going to put his children through what he went through as a child. Why is your entire family so ****ed up? The amount of dysfunction that engulfs you is just mind boggling.

On the bright note....I never have to visit (insert State name, one where the Cowboys play) again. Thanks for that!
